Last week we started building a motorized mount for a 1m parabolic grid antenna. The goal of the project is to create a versatile system that can be used for a wide array of projects down the line, from pulling data off of satellites, to radio astronomy and so much more.

This week we finish making the remaining pieces, wire everything up and get the system moving.
